I have a 3 yr old bearded and he is pretty healthy . Lately we upgraded him to a 120gal tank and after a week of him been there he started getting blue lips . We let him out of the tank and now they look normal but we want to make sure we can make him comfortable and keep him healthy . Would anybody knows what this could be

I am not seeing anything post a pic of him from the front -- make sure you have all your lighting on par surface basking temps 95-100 take w/ a digital probe thermometer -- UVB a long tube fixture T 5 in the tank directly above your basking decor 12-15 inches -- no older than 10-11 months old

Here is a front picture . He is eating and basking without an issue. We had two uva bulbs because of the size of the tank a 50w and a 100w on the hot side so basking temp was 100 . And we have a uvb in the backside of the tank but it doesn't extend trough all the tank. We hadn't notice the blue lips until yesterday and research made us think is bad air circulation so we turned off the stronger bulb but maybe we are freaking out

Ok you want a solid bright white basking bulb that keep surface basking temps 95-100 digital probe thermometer- - what is the uvb your using? What is the humidity in the tank no stick on gauges please you want a digital probe hygrometer - humidity helps w/ shed - it looks like shed front pic looks grainy - you need the tank on par or you will end up w/ a sick dragon- what is he eating? Any blueberries

I will change to the heavy bulb . And I'm not sure what the brand is of the uvb but I can check once I'm done with work . Same for the humidity . He has been eating cilantro with a little bit of zucchini and carrots. Last week was crickets and his cilantro salad

Ok cilantro is good but not for staple - collards turnip greens mustard and kale all good staples - I will post a website for you nutrition
